Unbelievable Gwenpool #2

• Gwen finds herself unexpectedly working for a big-deal mercenary outfit... • And she takes a gig pitting her head-to-head against THOR! • It's the Goddess of Thunder vs. the Oddest of Wonders! Rated T+

You do not have to be a fan of Marvel Comics or their characters to enjoy Gwenpool for what it is, but it certainly doesn't hurt. This is a comedy book that hits the right spots every time. I don't think The Unbelievable Gwenpool has been confirmed as more than a mini-series, but I'll be happy to enjoy every bit that Marvel is willing to throw at me. Kudos to Hastings and Company for putting this title together the way they have. Everything is surprisingly original and fresh for a character whose namesake is borrowed from two of Marvel's most popular characters going right now. As your resident Marvel advisor here at Weird Science, I really can't endorse this book enough. Go buy it and maybe share your digital codes with Jim... he likes that. (Jim's Note: No, I Love That!)

Unbelievable Gwenpool exists because of how comic book fans responded so positively to her use as a joke on a cover and in the periphery of our comic experience. Beyond the character, the entire concept of Unbelievable Gwenpool creates this sense of happiness by being both a product of the fan community and a product for the fan community. Read Full Review

Still 'switch-your-brain-off fun for any Marvel fan who likes to see obscure characters in odd situations, but two issues in and I'm not sure if "Gwenpool" will make it much further than that. Read Full Review

I was planning to drop this book because I thought it was going in a predictable direction, now that I realize that Gwenpool is a henchman for M.O.D.O.K. and her crew is essentially a D&D team, I'm totally in! There are a few good laughs, the new Thor plays a large role and she plays a good straight man against Gwenpool. The only thing that doesn't work about this issue is that Thor lets them get away with murder, she wouldn't do that, that's out of character, I'm surprised the editor let that slide. The book ends on a strong note with an emotional moment of reflection before a humorous cliffhanger. You won me back with this issue Gwen, don't screw this relationship up for us now.
